Thinkific + Open CPD
Thinkific handles the teaching. Open CPD handles proving it happened — a certificate, a badge, and a permanent page, issued the moment someone finishes.
Why pair Thinkific with Open CPD
Thinkific is popular with training providers who care about structured, multi-module learning — schools, associations, and businesses running formal programmes as much as individual creators. That audience tends to care more than most about a credential that actually holds up.
Open CPD gives every Thinkific graduate exactly that — automatically, without you managing a separate certificate process.
How it connects
A student completes a course in Thinkific.
A Zap picks up that completion and sends their details to Open CPD.
Open CPD issues the certificate, badge and achievement page, and emails the learner directly.
No change to how you run or deliver training in Thinkific.
What your Thinkific learners get
Your name, your logo, their course title, learning outcomes and CPD points.
Shareable on LinkedIn or in an email signature, verifiable in one click.
A permanent, indexed page recording what they learned and who taught it.
Thinkific questions, answered
We'd recommend switching it off once Open CPD is connected — two certificates for one course just leaves students unsure which is the real record. If you'd like to keep Thinkific's look and feel, we can build a bespoke Open CPD certificate template to match your branding — seamless for the student, but still always generated and issued by Open CPD, not by Thinkific.
